Adam Parr turns the page

Former Williams chairman Adam Parr is back in the spotlight after releasing his first book: The Art of War - Five Years in Formula One. He spoke to Dieter Rencken about it and about his views of the sport following his exit

Adam Parr, the 48-year-old son of a Belgian father and English mother, brought up and educated in Britain, arrived on the Formula 1 scene from nowhere and left just as suddenly after a controversial and remarkable innings as CEO and later chairman of Williams, having restructured the company.

Not least of the Eton-educated barrister's successes was floating Williams in Frankfurt, the first (and so far only) listing of a company with its roots in F1.
